The Punany Poets are an erotic poetry group. It's very sexy, some nudity. I saw their performance on HBO and wanted to see them live for some time. I was disappointed in this show, mainly because of the venue. The set was very distracting from the performance. I could see props from other plays from my seat. You could hear noise from the lobby because the exit door was open. The sound person wasn't on cue. There were at least 6 poets, but one microphone. And the microphone had a hot pink cord. All of this took away from the actual poets who were very, very good. And guests weren't told at the ticket booth to buy drink and food tickets before going into the theatre so you can get refreshments. But I'm not surprised because the Black Berkeley Rep. has terrible customer service. The host forgot to acknowledge a poet, who was one of the best, at the end of the show. I hope she remembers next time. I know the Punany Poets are really good so I'll give them another chance at different venue.Written on Feb 06 2012
